I don't think I'd get anywhere near them Martians! :D Well...it happened again....I successfully bisque fired 3 moai mugs. Glazed them. Waited a day then fired them. A day later, the kiln completely cooled. I opened the lid to find them all split. Googling the issue I found that possibly I'm laying the glaze too thick? Either that or my kiln is cooling way too fast. The splits are razor sharp and I've read that if that is the case the split occured after the glaze was set. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
